He's just Starmer alright. We have no control over him he just does stuff.
It's clear they haven't consulted anyone over this. All they did was told it was impossible and ignored them as per.
Make it illegal for their parents to give them phones and computing devices that can send and receive pictures. Problem solves.
No but seriously education for both parents and children. Because while I do believe these companies play their role in how children interact online and what they interact with, I don't believe they're going to be able to stop anyone from sending something or receiving something they want to send without invasive and possibly traumatic tactics that will effect people regardless of age group.
It would be so fun if Apple and Google decided they'd rather not have business in England anymore
It actually shows that the government have no understanding of the technology or the culture because no one's communicating with potential paedophiles via iMessage does Google even have a messaging app anymore?
Google does have a text message app. I use it because the native Samsung one looked ass
Textra is a good SMS app. I haven't looked st their privacy practices, but SMS in general is not private
Just allow parents to disable their child’s camera, simple?
Actually, yeah. That offloads the responsibility to the parents. I think that solution actually works...
What sort of nightmarish personal responsibility world are you proposing? I don't want to have to raise my own damn kids.
Starmer's labour government has been an absolute shit show. Fuck the child safety act.
"Protecting children" is one of the last and best tactics people use when they're trying desperately to distract from other problems.
Wasn't it a Tory policy that Labour adopted? Either way, absolutely awful and really does illustrate how little difference there between the major parties.
fuck the chi-
Oh no OH NOOO
"Fuck the child" safety act
With Labour like this, who needs Tories?
My partner sent me some dirties and the new iphone asked her if she was sure.
Creepy shit.
Maybe hold the parents accountable. Betya then they'll start caring about what their children are doing. Because yes, while there are adult perpetrators, there are also children themselves selling media they create on things like roblox servers. It's a rabbit hole.
Bonus: you don't have to invalidate everyone's right to fucking privacy.
Extra credit: you can still tax the fuck out of these trillion dollar corporations that are ruining the world.
Surveillance is not security. When fully formed Surveillance is slavery.

Yeah bro we're totally just scanning everything you send just on the off chance that a child (even though you have none and don't know any) are takes your phone and uses it to send a dick pic haha no bro don't worry it's for their safety haha
I estimate about 3 months until an inevitable data breach where it turns out they actually keep copies of all of the images because of course they will.
And, because Apple cares about us, they can create the Personal Pictures Privacy Pro subscription. A plan where any compromising images are kept out of public dark web Facebook groups, for the low price of $29.95 per month.
Disclaimer: Privacy and security applied by your Personal Pictures Privacy Pro plan will be generated by mid-tier cost effective AI, which itself was trained on the work of the most affordable people who told us they were privacy and security experts.
Technology as a religion strikes again.
We can't possibly solve this problem the human way, with parent and children awareness and communication.
No, we must solve it with tech. Every problem must be solved with tech !
What a sad world.
Tech and invigilation*

Sure, give them 3 months to finish posting child diddy images, instead of idk, NOW. A week or two max, followed by forced liquidation.
Living up to your username at least.
Heck they need 3 months to stop committing crimes? If I went murdering people, they would not give me 3 months to stop, they would hunt me down like a dog.
Though tbf "underage people sharing nudes with each other on snapchat and looking at porn" doesn't necessarily mean you have to kill the children immediately, you can give them some time.
Besides, it's "you have three months to create and implement code that tracks the ages of all your users and all activity across all apps for the ones under 18, and then use that to stop their cameras from working when nudity detected, and stop their messaging services when nudity detected, and stop their internet when pornography detected." I don't think we need the follow up "lethal force engaged" just yet, but you never know they may start blowing up computers like Mossad's pagers when a kid googles "boobies" soon enough.
Idiot's in Ties are still Idiots.
How?
That seems like a parent problem.
- Demand to "protect the children" or else we'll do
- is not done because, well, it's impossible.
- Do whilst claiming "they gave us no other choice"
That's not what it does
Over reach dressed up as protection for children.
I don't have kids myself so can't say I understand how prevalent this problem is, but I can imagine it's not as big of a problem as what politicians are making out. Certainly not big enough that this can be the answer, even if this legitimately required a solution, such a solution would surely be a last resort.
On iOS parental controls let you choose to manage the child’s contacts. So they can only communicate with anyone you put in there. You can also block communication in apps. You can also block unapproved websites or let Apple block the ones in its list. You can set age restrictions on everything. You can be pretty heavy-handed if you want to. You can also buy the kid a dumb phone.
He may as well be saying that he needs to put cameras in every car to verify that kids are wearing seatbelts if they’re in the car. That would likely reduce more harm than this, but it’s also more obvious what the problem is.

Fucking hell, can we get an age and qualification limit on politicians already?
There is a nice german word for such thinking. It's "Vollkasko-mentalität" - Vollkasko is car insurance which covers everything + mentality.
I also find it funny that any existing smartphones have to work in this system too. I'd like to see the performance of any filter technology on an Android 4 based device that hasn't seen an update or an replacement battery for decades. And what about feature phones?
I'd say let them catapult themselves back into analog times, it'll be fun to watch when they realize that filtering that requires opening letters like back in East Germany.

Is Playboy back in business?
We must protect the sausages with the Sausage Safety Act!
If Apple and Google are sending kids nude images, then their parents are showing them porn by giving them phones.
Let me guess, the solution is age verification for everyone?
